Hope Scottie finally has a good game against the Cavs seems like he can’t do much against Mobley and Allen.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Cavs play tonight in Miami. So we may catch them with tired legs.

Tired minds too. That’s a 2.5 hour flight back in the middle of the night.

Last I checked the injury report, they are basically sitting everyone for rest and tanking this game so they can be fresh for the Raptors.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Surprised to see Mitchell/Mobley resting today to play against us tomorrow after the type of loss they just had vs Miami.

Barnes won't have a good scoring game. Big front courts really bother him. It's something that's concerned me for a while now. The weak outside shot hurts him against match ups where he can't bully his way inside.

I hope he can prove me wrong. Maybe he's being smart about it and thinking those shots are ideal considering the match up?

With Bam and Herro both still out, they are taking their chances that the Heat can't do it again.

Also, am I crazy or were there reports that it had to be done for home games, and not on the road? Or did I get that backwards? Or better yet, did I make this all up in my head?

I'd be shocked if we win this game.

We match up so poorly with the Cavaliers

Easy money on the Cavs for this one unfortunately. Home game, they'll be hungry for a win after back-to-back in Miami. They got their guys back, except Garland, which is easily manageable.

I thought Cleveland was playing well when most of their starters were out already, easy to see how they won 64 last season. They stick to their principles and have a deep roster. Really like that kid Tyson. Lonzo's giving them some good mins.

They need to win vs. Indy and Charlotte over the weekend.

Shucks, Mogbo is with the 905. The big club's only player above 6'8" has back spasms, but it's out of the question for him to join them. He would need a ride, and his mom can't because she works late.

Seriously, wtf is this. Mickey mouse organization.

I am fairly sure they can fly Mogbo out to Cleveland if they feel the need to do so. Where do you come to the conclusion they have decided not to or aren’t willing to fly him there if needed?

Cavs are the best team in the East. They rested two stars and still beat Heat. Good test for where we are at... without Mamu and CMB... who plays behind YAK?....

Return to Toronto Raptors
